- Summary:
- During the 1990s, both the United States and Britain shifted from entitlement to work-based systems for supporting their poor citizens.Much research has examined the implications of welfare reform for the economic well-being of the poor, but the new legislation also affects our view of democracy--and how it ought to function.
